As a specialty dentist, Dr. Craig Wada has almost twice the formal education of a general dentist. This translates to “expert level” dentistry and a comprehensive understanding and appreciation for each patient, their specific problems and individual needs. Common reasons for seeing a prosthodontist are complex dental problems requiring complex integrated therapy and a “quarterback” to plan and oversee treatment, a long history of failed dentistry, and the repetitive need for more and more dentistry, year after year, without a clear end in sight. If you wish to be permanently stabilized by a master dentist trained to gently and expertly provide the care you need, call or have your dentist refer you to a prosthodontist.

Doing things once and doing them right is always less expensive in the long run. Dr. Craig Wada received his doctorate of dental surgery and bachelor of dental science at the University of California, San Francisco, in 1988. After graduating dental school, he trained to become an expert in restorative dentistry and successfully completed the two-year, full-time prosthodontic residency, also at UCSF. In 1990, Dr. Craig Wada continued his studies at UCLA and earned his maxillofacial prosthetics certification after successfully completing the one-year, full-time residency. After UCLA, he returned toNorthern California, where he associated in two prosthodontic specialty practices located in the Sacramento and Roseville areas. respectively. Dr. Wada opened his own Roseville prosthodontics and maxillofacial prosthetics private practice in 1993. Five years later, he moved this practice to Rocklin, where he continues to practice today.
